Under the sponsorship of Mr. James Hurley, the combined efforts of Earnie Blue, secretary of morale, his committee, the cheerleaders, the pompon girls, and the student body made the first year of Mitchell High School one characterized by loyalty, determina- tion, and abounding spirits. Students eagerly awaited pep rallies that were scheduled before basketball, football, hockey, and other important school activities. At these rallies the students were able to confirm their loyalty by whole- heartedly joining in the cheers led by the cheerleaders. Pep skits were an important part of the rallies. They were used to satirize opposing teams or to ad- vance participation in school activities. Such skits as Teamwork for the Palmer game and What's New, Pussycat? for the Pueblo Central game were brought to life by talented and interested members of the morale committee. Many special days, such as Boot the Birdsi' and Don't Sweat Centennialf, were designated to pro- mote student interest in school events.

The first job which faced committee head Kathie Graff was that of ac- quainting all students with the floor plan of the school. For three days before the start of school the cour- tesy committee, as well as the S.O., held pre-School tours. These tours decreased the number of lost stu- dents during the first days of school. Courtesy committee members were also in charge of the lost and found Office in the S.O. Room, and they sent out get-well cards, thank-you notes, and invitations. To highlight the Dedication activities, the com- mittee invited Astronaut Scott Carpenter and Mr. and Mrs. William Mitchell Jr., the son and daughter- in-law of General William Mitchell, to be the visiting guests of honor. As one of the school traditions started this year, courtesy committee was in charge of decorating the school at Christmas time. Halls and stairways were decked in Christmas splendor, and at night the courtyards were brightly lit with outdoor lights. The center of attraction was a decorated tree which dominated the cafeteria scene.
